I use tcpblast for simple tasks, it uses the discard service on hosts/routers. One of the advantages is that Cisco for one has a discard service on all it's routers. for host-to-host tests I use iperf. It performs tcp and udp tests and can do multiple streams simultaneously . A must, if your (bandwith x delay) factor gets too high. Iperf has options for setting the MSS etc. and can test multicast streams too. It is partly open source.

I am searching for performance tools/benchmark for tcpip. I would like to know what other tools open source community is using. I have found Netspec and DBS. I don't know how widely they have been used, Any input is appreciated.
